Connecting Africa to more destinations than any other in the world, Turkish Airlines has increased the number of destinations on the African continent to 62 with the addition of Juba.

The flag carrier brand will be managing flights to Juba three days a week, namely on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The flight will be operated with the Boeing B737-8 aircraft.

Speaking during the ceremony held at Juba International Airport for the inauguration of the route, Turkish Airlines General Manager Bilal Ekşi said: “We believe that the importance of Africa for the world trade and tourism will be increasing in the medium and long term thanks to the development of industrial investments.”
